Reims form and stats

A Ligue 1 draw at home so far for Reims. Last season their home statistics were 4 wins, 8 draws and 7 defeats from 19 matches. The last three games played by Reims, regardless of arena, have all ended draws.

Reims drew their last game, 1-1 away at Metz (placed 14th). Midfield player Ghislain Konan got a match rating of 7.62 in that game, the max score being 10. Konan served one assist and hit two key passes.

The spoils were shared after 90 minutes before that, a home game that ended 3-3 versus Montpellier.

Despite playing at their own arena the home team are massive underdogs in this game. The home fans will enjoy their drinks and snacks knowing that the chances of a positive outcome are very slim. When Reims have been in this position before, they have won zero, drawn zero and lost one from one game. one defeat by at least two goals.

Early season league goal statistics from Reims's 1 home game: 3 goals, 3 conceded.

Paris Saint Germain form and stats

Paris Saint Germain are yet to lose a point on their Ligue 1 travels this season with 2 wins from 2 away games.

Two travels in a row for Paris, whose manager M. Pochettino Trossero could celebrate last time after the Ligue 1 win against Brest. Midfielder Idrissa Gueye was the best performer of that match, with a rating of 8.42. Gueye scored one goal, hit one key pass, dribled passed the opponent 4 of 5 times and had 105 successful passes (of 110 total). As you can tell from the result, the match against Brest was as crazy as a clown in a village circus. Great fun for the neutral supporter with 6 goals, will the fun continue today?

A home win before that, celebrating 4-2 vs Strasbourg.

As mentioned earlier, Paris will not be satisfied unless they get a comfortable victory in this game. Performing as huge favourites away from home has earlier resulted in 14 wins (twelve by two or more goals winning margin), one draw and one surprising defeat.

It's early days yet, but Paris Saint Germain has scored 6 and conceded 3 goals from their travels in the league so far (2 games).

Head 2 Head

Head-2-head stats last ten meetings: two - two - six (Reims wins - draws - Paris Saint Germain wins). As for goals, seven matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), three had two or less.
